“Peace is not merely the absence of warfare, any more than true health is simply the absence of disease. Nor is peace simply a quiet state of equilibrium-impossible to achieve in an evolving system. Though refraining from harm is an essential first step, lasting peace is created by actively redressing harm done. Peace is a creative process of actively joining I and thou into a co-creative we. It requires authentic communication, empathic listening, and wildly creative solutions.” FirstsStatesDonePeaceProcessStepsCreativityCreativeImpossibleAchieveCommunicationListeningQuietEssentialsDiseaseSolutionsHarmAbsenceEvolveLastingFirst StepsCreative ProcessWarfareJoiningEquilibriumCreative Solutions Author:Anodea Judith
